I Am Not Allowed to Quit
Summary
- Even when we got married, we agreed there would be no option to walk away; it’s always about moving forward and upward.
- I've applied this no-quit approach to every business I’ve started, no matter how hard things get.
- I believe the grass isn’t greener on the other side; I need to fix what’s in front of me to achieve the next thing.
- Following the plan is essential, regardless of my mood.
- Keeping promises to myself is really important, even if it feels awful some days.
- Sticking to what I said I’m going to do makes me happy with myself at the end of the day.
- If I break a promise I made to myself about my business, it would affect how I feel about myself, and that's not worth it.

How To Take Action
I would suggest implementing a "no-quit" mindset in your personal growth or business. Decide that there is no option to walk away from your goals, no matter how tough things get. This approach has helped me move forward and grow.
A good way of doing this is to create a clear plan and stick to it, regardless of your mood. You need to follow the plan you've created even when you don’t feel like it. This builds discipline and helps you make steady progress.
Fix what's in front of you instead of thinking the grass is greener elsewhere. Focus on solving the problems you have now before moving on to the next thing. This helps you improve your current situation and builds a stronger foundation for future success.
Keep your promises to yourself. If you say you’re going to do something, do it. This builds self-respect and confidence. Start with small promises to build momentum.
Every day, make a habit of following through on what you said you were going to do. If you commit to making five sales calls a day, do it even if you’re tired. This consistency will lead to long-term success.
Remember, breaking promises to yourself can hurt your self-esteem. So, it’s important to maintain your commitments to feel proud and happy with yourself at the end of the day.
